Yeah, grew up in America and live in Bangkok now.
I realized there are many, many things about Thai culture I prefer and that I generally get along with Thai people much better than Americans.
So I guess the moral of the story is that just because you grew up somewhere doesn't mean it's the right culture for you.
It's not like everything is perfect here though, far from it. And if you are a miserable person you'll be miserable anywhere you go. A combination of changing myself and changing where I was living is what really has helped me, not just one or the other
- gregjor 5y agoI miss Bangkok and Thailand. Lived there for six years, back home in the US now. Can’t really compare two cultures in terms of better or worse, just different in ways that may or may not appeal. The longer I lived there the less I understood Thai culture, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing — the constant surprise and mystery is part of the appeal.
